They said £65 on the phone!! but will double-check on the day...

Umm surly Lauren they would intent on asking me to pay for this extra work? as this is extra work I have asked for??

Finally, I have a grin on my face, got a call from Toyota main head office in Preston, my car has been booked in for the work to be carried out, at my local Toyota dealer garage 20 mins away from my home, I was told they will need my 86 for four days & a courtesy car will be available to me for the length of time my vehicle will be with them, though I would be cheeky and also ask if my plugs could be done at the same time, surprisingly there was no objection, I was quoted $65 for the extra work. The car is booked in for the 19th Aug!! so fingers crossed...

Thanks Lauren I might do that sometime this week...

It's been some time since I checked at https://www.toyota.co.uk/owners/vehicle-information/recall-checker after checking yet again, now it's telling me they can not find my car in there database, hahahahaha crazy carry on with this Recall, I think the actual Recall was back in March? (4) months later I'm still waiting patiently!! but my GT86 is due it's MOT next months, does anyone know if this will have any effect on the MOT? at the test station, I take it to. Should I now contact Toyota to find out why my vehicle has not been called in yet?

I have noticed my GT86 62 plate is starting to get a bit sluggish, it's just got over 38k on the clock, before purchasing the GT86 I had previously owned a Toyota Celica vvti, loved it I was able to bang my fishing gear into it and head of for miles, this took place each week back then, unfortunately, I can not do this in the GT86!! first point 1, scratching my pearl gray paintwork 2, can't get my fishing gear into it... So the car is only traveling from home to work less than 5 miles each way, plus it's all stop-start journey to work, the motor is not getting a real run, so over the last 2 weeks I have decided stuff the mileage just get the motor on the motorway!! so last week I took it on a run from Leeds West Yorkshire to Sheffield & back home which I think is about 29 miles from Leeds center, and today from Leeds to Manchester again I think this is about 32 miles, on the first run out I added some fuel additive treatment which I purchased from Toyota, can anyone give me a few tips how to keep this engine running sweet without breaking the bank? Cheers Benjie

I know your right Lauren, guest I get impatient waiting on Toyota, it's just like you said, some dealers are way ahead on this, for instance, when the recall first popped up in March a Toyota dealer where I took my vehicle for a service, about 10 miles from my home phoned me asking me to bring my vehicle in to there branch, but I declined saying I wanted to use my local branch a 20 min's drive away from my house. So I will sit and wait like everyone else around here.

Shame the link has been deleted.

Well, Lauren, the recall was back in March, it's now may I did ring up Toyota main branch & spoke with a young lady there, who just sounded more like an automated machine, and really did not show much interest in giving me any real guidance, all she really said Toyota will write to me!! my response in this post was April 7 and as you can see I have gotten no were with them calling me in. So again today I check at https://www.toyota.co.uk/owners/vehicle-information/recall-checker And I got more are less the same kind of message... (Recall Checker: To find out whether a current safety recall includes your vehicle we have developed a 3 step process below. Confirmation: We have identified that your Toyota is subject to a voluntary customer service campaign or outstanding safety recall. This can be rectified at no cost.) What's going on with these guys are they stooling for more time??

@Lauren I really do not mind waiting, they tell me I have to wait on my letter coming from Toyota head office (or) the DVLA, it does not seem anyone is in a great rush, which indicates this recall is not over-serious.

Went into my local dealer! who told me I had to wait for a confirmation letter from DVLA regarding the recall, not 100% sure if they are telling me porkies or they are actually telling me the truth.

Thanks for all the post I found them rather interesting, looking here https://www.toyota.co.uk/owners/vehicle-information/recall-checker I used just to double check! and my 62 plate gt86 was definitely on the recall list (and yes) we can definitely establish it is, so basically, my local Toyota dealer is obliged to fix this valve issue free of charge?

@86iain It seems I am in the same boat, my gt86 2012 does not have that also.

Many thanks, Gary & yes my vehicle has a recall from the 23rd March, so contacted Toyota, who reassures me I am not in any danger, and I can still drive around safely!! furthermore, they tell me they have not received a confirmation as yet what this defect is...

Don't follow Kaltorak (recall)?? this would be very nice...
